Protests against the recent crackdown on Baloch Raaji Muchi have spread across Pak-occupied-Balochistan, with demonstrations taking place in Quetta, Nushki, Turbat, and Panjgur.
In Turbat, the central city of Kech District, a significant sit-in protest is underway at Shaheed Fida Chowk. Thousands of participants, including many women, have gathered to express their anger against the Pak Army’s brutality and use of force.
On Tuesday, a seminar titled “State Brutality on Baloch Raji Machi and the Current Situation” was held at the Turbat protest site. Various figures from political, social, and literary backgrounds spoke on the ongoing human rights violations and the unjust treatment of the Baloch people. The seminar concluded with a resolution to maintain the protest until justice is served and Baloch rights are acknowledged.
In Panjgur, protests continue amid an ongoing suspension of internet services. A road blockade in front of the Deputy Commissioner’s office is led by Fahad Asif, Mulla Farhad, and others. They have vowed to keep the protest going until their demands are met.
Panjgur has faced significant disruptions due to the suspension of PTCL’s DSL internet service for the past two weeks and the continued blockage of mobile data services for the past two and a half years. The lack of internet access has caused major difficulties for students, businesses, journalists, and other residents.
Protests are also active in Quetta and Nushki, where thousands, including women, are participating. On Wednesday, candles were lit in these cities to honor those who lost their lives due to the firing by Pak forces during the Raaji Muchi protests. Demonstrators have pledged to continue their protests until their demands are addressed.
